I went into the series pretty excited for it (and with zero knowledge of the character). Episode 1 was fun, but ever since that, I feel like nothing has happened, or the stuff that has happened has been pretty dull. Im gonna see it through, since there are only 2 episodes left, but this has been a letdown the first one for me through all of the Marvel streaming shows (edit - of the Disney+ shows, I should add, since Iron Fist was easily worse than Moon Knight).

Anyone else agree? Disagree?

For me the worst Marvel show so far has been Falcon. Isaiah was cool, but the rest of it was just... fine and extremely predictable. But I've haven't been into "manly bros that don't get along learn to get along" storylines for at least a decade due to overexposure.

yea.

IMO, it's the worst Disney+ MCU series, so far.

there are two episodes left, and I think it might be too late to redeem this season, for me.

Yeah, this one's not really keeping my attention. I'll still watch it, but so far it's just not really that interesting. It had potential, it's just not really doing anything with it.

Do we count the What If series? If so to me thats the worst. Still good, but the least good.

Loki > Wandavision > Moon Knight (so far) > Hawkeye > Falcon and the Winter Soldier > What If

Edited to include Hawkeye.

no prob.

initially, Hawkeye didn't start off too strongly, IMO, but I liked how it developed, and it ended up being one of the better MCU shows.

that's probably why I stuck with Moon Knight, because I thought it just had a slow start.

Yea I liked the Hawkeye series as well. Hes certainly not my favorite avenger but I really liked how the show added a lot to his character growth.

plus it took place during Christmas so bonus points from me for that.

I tend to prefer slower shows in general. As an example, the final season of breaking bad was way too fast imo, especially for Jessie's plot line. Before that, the show was the perfect pace for me.

I don't mind if a show takes a slower pace, if the quality is there, but I think that MK is also mediocre.

I don't think it's amazing, but tbh I view most of the MCU as mediocre (including all the Disney+ shows) so it's difficult for me to have these discussions lol.

I like it because it has a different vibe, but it's still probably the weakest. I feel like last year was much better for MCU shows. This year kind of looks barren with lots of experiments. Apparently season 2 of Loki is not even coming out till next year.

I dropped Loki and Hawkeye after one episode, and had no interest in watching Falcon.

Wandavison was excellent, and I liked it alot better. I do like this Moon Knight too though. Especially episodes 1 & 4. It's gonna be make or break on how cool they make his Jake Lockley persona though.

If I had to adjust all the shows for 2/3 finished

falcon>wandavision>moon knight>hawkeye>loki

episode 1 is what an intro episode should be and as good as first episodes for a new series go

episode 2 was the natural progression of episode 1, not as good (still good) but keeps the ball rolling

episode 3 cratered, it was ok I guess. The trial was nonsense, didnt care for the action sequence. Steven became annoying at the wrong time. Some cool moments with konshu though and the sky shifting

Episode 4 an improvement, some visual moments were too dark to see. Ended on a weird spot but I want to see where it goes

1>2>4>3

I started it with zero knowledge on Moon Knight and I'm loving it a lot. Likely will end up being my favorite MCU show but that also depends on these next two episodes, of course.

for reference, I loved WandaVision and Loki. Greatly enjoyed Hawkeye. Dropped What If and Falcon.

I don't really think every episode needs to have something to happen. This one seemed to more be exploring character growth and I was invested.

The fake mental hospital part was kinda tough to watch for me though. Isaac did a great job acting like a person with debilitating dimentia and it looked way too similar to my late father.

The show has two episodes left and I can't tell you anything important that has happened. A lot of character motivations are lost to me. I don't even know what the show is trying to be. Is it trying to be a superhero show? Or something else completely? Nothing is really explained. I don't even know Moon Knight's powers.

Well...exactly. It has two episodes left. The main bad guy is Arthur, it feels like things are coming to a head, the third personality needs to be unearthed, and Khonshu needs to be rescued. Sounds like two episodes is enough considering they last anywhere from 45 to 55 minutes.

Yesterday's episode was phenomenal imo. This is my first exposure to Isaac but I'm in awe of this dude's acting (on another note I'll be checking out Ex Machina later today).

I am a bit nervous how they wrap it up in one more episode. Best case scenario the finale has a little bit longer runtime than usual.

Fucking loved that movie. I watched it on a whim and was so surprised at how good it was.

I'm loving Moonknight. Ocarina Issac is a fantastic actor and this last episode with the shift between personalities and the reasoning behind it, while soul crushing, is amazing. Last night's episode actually brought me to tears.

Same. I've seen criticism about the CGI not being the best. It isn't, but that hasn't hindered any of my enjoyment. Otherwise the comments about it being boring and such confuse me a lot lol. Oh well though, opinions and all that.

Yeah I seriously have no idea what theyre doing with this show, its mostly unmitigated nonsense. Is Khonshu good? Is the other god good? Why is every episode just a repeat of the first episode? Why has nothing happened? Who are these random guys that show up to shoot at them with guns that they then kill massive quantities of? Presumably Arthurs guys but they just show up randomly and I have no idea where theyre coming from or how theyre funded. Shows a complete mess.
